Great info Don, thanks so much for the update.
How was the snow on the trail under the tree's in the general Herman area??
About what elevation is the snow level on the OR side these days??
Thanks!!

All the snow is gone on the trails below about 1,200' elevation and above that, even as high as we got, 3,152', there are bare spots on open or south facing slopes. We could see lots of snow in shady spots along Herman Cr. well below us though - even as low as 600' or 700'. We did a "non-standard" route on a ridge and were on bare ground until 2,900'. After that, the snow abruptly went from zero to 2' deep and stayed that way. Even the user trail down to Indian point is about half melted out.

Excellent update Don, thanks again.
I suspect things will be changing rapidly now with some warmer weather and warm rain.
